Blog On International Legal Issues Of Cyber Attacks

Anybody who has dealt with international cyber law and cyber security
related issues must be aware that it is really tough to solve such
cases. Being transnational in nature, cyber law and cyber security
issues require international cooperation among various nations and
law enforcement agencies.

For instance, if a simple exercise of internet protocol tracking is
undertaken, it takes months before any information is received from a
foreign jurisdiction. Even in such cases, these are exceptional cases
and not a general practice. In this process, the crucial digital
evidence is lost forever and the cyber crimes investigation becomes a
cold trail.

As on date we have no
dedicated cyber
security laws in India. This is the reason why cyber
security is more ignored than complied with in India. Even the
blooming e-commerce industry of India is devoid
of required cyber security practices and requirements. Cyber security
of banks
in India is also not upto the mark. This has forced the Reserve Bank
of India to constitute a IT
subsidiary that would consider, monitor and prescribe
cyber security related rules, regulations and practices for banks in
India. Even the Companies Act 2013 has prescribed cyber
security obligations for the directors of companies. This
is in addition to the cyber
law obligations of banks and directors of Indian
companies.

It is well understood
that international
legal issues of cyber attacks are not easy to handle.
Nevertheless, Indian government cannot afford to ignore this
situation and it must urgently work towards making Indian cyber
security robust, resilient and effective. P4LO hopes that our readers
would find our blog on international legal issues of cyber attacks,
cyber law and cyber security useful.
